Elaboración de un prototipo de máquina para el ensayo de vigas a escala reducida con propósitos educacionales

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to develop a prototype machine for tests of beams on a reduced scale and for the benefit of the students of the Antonio Nariño University in favor of learning through practice in the master classes and in the behaviors of the different elements that make up the structures are made of reinforced concrete or metallic structure, since experimentation is a fundamental part in the training of a civil engineer. This project is about the fact that the University does not have enough equipment in the area of ​​structures, which is why this project was created for the training of future students in the area of ​​structures such as statics, mechanics of materials, analysis of structures and concrete design. The research describes the activities that were needed for the development of this prototype, such as the conception, design and manufacture where various processes were used with welding and painting. With what was concluded was with its operation to make the test test to compare the results with the theoretical to the experimental, which these results were consistent with those raised and is the functional tool in the structures laboratory.
